I read about a quiet little girl at school that turned out to know all the other kids (eg preferences) better than any other kid. The intro/extro dichotomy has been taken far in mainstream writing, and I think the author is addressing people that have gone too far in the introvert direction, or rather made it a permanent part of their personality.

Also, for those of you who are afraid of being judged when speaking, start by convincing yourself that other people have something interesting to teach you, then ask questions.

I don't know much else about him, but nothing in this story reads to me like someone going off the deep end. It sounds like someone who picked a perhaps-unfortunate hill to die on, though if you aren't willing to take risks to argue against silly rules when you're at the top of your game then when will you, but not someone losing his faculties.

The app and car will have intermittent connection to the internet.

My car for example doesn't have reliable connection when it's parked in the garage, which is where I charge it.

Your solution would add a lot of extra edge cases that needs to be considered.

You have to ensure the updated key is reliably transferred to the mothership in a timely fashion, and subsequently that the key is reliably transferred to the car in a timely fashion.

That's the back-end stuff. There's also the front-end stuff, like will my SO understand why her app isn't showing the car's location but mine is?

Not saying it's impossible, but it adds a lot of complexity beyond simply encrypting the location with multiple keys.

I quit my job in the Fall of 2020 and continued receiving messages from recruiters through last year—easily the best decision I’ve ever made.

I had spent far too long at an enterprise SaaS startup with a nice hybrid schedule and needed a major change. Right after leaving, I took a Machine Learning course and planned to build projects with React Native (my background was primarily in C++ and Python). However, a friend soon asked for financial advice, and that unexpectedly set me on a whole new life path as a financial planner. Definitely a lot of opportunity cost involved in that pivot but I have no regrets.

Last year, I did some consulting for a FinTech company, and I’d love to build again someday—especially now that LLMs make it even more exciting. For now, though, I’m fully embracing the ride, helping others take sabbaticals and explore various flavors of work-optionality.
This isn’t about 3×1 red/green/blue subpixels, though it could be applied to it; the article only mentions that once.

I kinda wish variants of the last half-dozen paragraphs had been at the start also, to give context.

I think this has become slightly more nuanced as of late. For example Synthesizer V now has an AI edition that produces retakes with deep learning.

I wonder how people will feel about this long-term as it blurs the line between generated from scratch and tool-assisted. Clearly the intent is to make it easier for producers to get the results they want. How easy is too easy?

I believe in the near future there will be more discussion about specific parts of songs being derived from AI even if the rest is traditionally composed. Because that is the natural result of creating more efficient tools to solve specific needs that artists have, when "generate my song for me" is not an option they would ever consider (given today's rapidly changing norms, at that point it becomes an issue of integrity over efficiency).

I think it is also interesting how revered Vocaloids have been in certain fandoms stretching back to the late 00's in spite of their artificiality. Whereas a lot of the autogenerated content today is derided for being artificial, "not the real thing." I guess because the vastly wider gap and set of limitations of Vocaloid compared to human singers causes creative workarounds that wouldn't be considered otherwise. But the creator is the one who needs to plan and execute those workarounds, as it confirms to their artistic preference.

Maybe in the future the AI art tools that are seen to be most ethical are the ones that preserve the artistic vision of the user. An aspect that artists are lamenting the loss of. Less outsourcing and more deliberate collaboration.

I agree with your point about SQL's readability, however, I think there's value in having structured metadata around migrations, like dependencies between migrations, rollback instructions, and environment specific variations, beyond just the raw SQL.

This could be done with SQL comments, but having it in a structured format makes it more reliable to parse and validate programmatically. I do see why YAML's quirks could become a problem in a tool that's meant to help you make sure your database is in order, we didn't run into issues like country codes or numbers being interpreted as sexagesimal (yet).

Perhaps a middle ground would be to keep the actual migrations in .sql files for readability, while using a separate metadata file (in JSON or TOML) for the orchestration details. What do you think?

You make a fair point. I would have liked him to elaborate more on the potential acquisition that was declined.

However, he mentioned they just raised $60 million. If his approach wasn’t working, why would anyone invest that amount? And if the plan was to fire him, given that his vote was required, wouldn’t it have been more transparent to say upfront: “If you reject the acquisition and opt for this $60 million investment instead, we’re going to fire you”?

Unfortunately memory does not work that way. You can't just put a pause on forgetting (if we could we wouldn't need spaced repetition in the first place). The backlog will continue to grow because memory degrades over time (without review). The backlog simply represents the cards that have a less than X% chance of being recalled (where X is usually 80-90%).

What they don’t have is high accuracy pointing.

The wifi protocol is computationally intensive. The wifi module is effectively a fast 32-bit computer with fairly complex firmware. And then, there's all the RF engineering that needs to happen to make it work.

So, the original thinking was "if you need wifi, we can't price a standalone chip competitively, just buy a SoC". But the genius of ESP32 was that they approached it the other way round: they built a wifi chip, and then figured they can carve out some room for user code. No need to pay for a separate MCU. This worked for a lot of customers, and the economies of scale took care of the rest.

llama.cpp is open source and community-run, and is probably the most popular implementation for locally hosted models right now.

That aside, in general, the question is - why bother so long as the libraries are open source and good enough? They can always be forked if there are any shenanigans, but why do so proactively? FWIW llama.cpp originally showed up as an answer to a very specific question (fast inference on Apple Silicon) and then just grew organically from there. Similarly, you can expect other libraries to fill the niches that don't already have "good enough" solutions.

It's really not feasible to run most apps without Google Play APIs/MicroG. The most problematic issue is the notification API.

MicroG runs with elevated permissions to avoid being killed, and so that it can continue listening to socket events. Once an event arrives, it decodes it into a notification, packages into an RPC request, and awakes/runs the target application activity. Then it, crucially, uses the elevated privileges to override the default policy to also allow the target application to run without interruptions for 20 seconds (to process the notification).
